Freeze

Sweater, RocaWear. Jeans, Kenneth Cole. Hat, Smart Set. Boots, Zigi New York. Gloves, Old Navy.

 
And then it was cold. Very cold. So cold that I had to dig my Russian style faux fur hat out from hibernation. I’ve never worn it before in all honesty, simply because the weather never called for it. But at -27 °C (-17 °F) I was not going to mess around! Indeed I can understand why the Russian style faux fur hat is so popular out there, man did that baby ever keep my head warm!

We managed to snap a few photos (it was too cold to stay outside for more than a minute) on our weekly run to replenish our west Indian groceries. Kind of ironic I think; to be picking up ingredients that make you think of nothing but sunshine and heat on a day when you can literally feel yourself freeze more and more with each passing minute outside!

Have a lovely day and stay warm! xoxo

Yellow

Jacket, Miss London from Winners. Hoodie, RocaWear. Concert Tee. Yellow tee, Winners. Jeans, Hollister. Shoes, Steve Madden. Shades, Ray Ban.

 
Initially I wasn’t going to post this look as there is really nothing special about it. But then I got thinking…essentially this is a personal style blog. And as such, whether boring or not, at the end of the day it is my style.

Having said all that, whenever I am lazy or just don’t feel like dressing up, I fall back on my uniform: denim skinnies, concert tee and a colour layer underneath. This look features a Coldplay X&Y concert tee, which also happens to be the first concert I ever went to!

Ballet Tulle Dress

 Dress, Chicwish (here). Wedge sneakers, Steve Madden. Bracelet, Expression from The Bay. Clutch, RocaWear. 

 
I have always wanted to prance around through the forest like a fairy wearing a ballet tulle dress. Well…I finally got my chance. There’s just something very feminine and magic about tulle for me and this dress captures the vibe.

Happy Monday!
